Carolines who work in Glass Houses shouldn’t throw stones…
In this episode, we discuss Caroline Brooks storylines from Real Housewives of Dubai Season 2:
⚪Brooks vs Taleen ⚪Brooks vs Stanbury ⚪Brooks vs Lesa
Sharon: When I say you can’t buy my love, I meant it’s not possible with your salary.
Caitlin: There’s a Housewives card right there.
Sharon: I love it. Hi, this is Caitlin, and this is Sharon.
Caitlin: And welcome to Real Housewives on Real Housewives, where we unravel Housewives story threads and keep the tea flowing.
Sharon: So chic.
Caitlin: Hold on to your riches.
Sharon: This week we’re digging into Carolyn Brooks from Real Housewives of Dubai season two.
Caitlin: The verses this week are, Brooks versus Taleen, Brooks versus Stanbury, and Brooks versus Lisa. this is our first foray into the Real Housewives of Dubai, and I had to kind of twist Sharon’s arm to do it.
Sharon: Yeah. So I tried season one. I watched a few, and I could not get into it at all. and then, so season two, you know, we were going to watch. So it took me until, like, episode nine to get into it.
Caitlin: That’s a long.
Sharon: It was hard. Finally at the end, I was like, okay, not, my favorite.
Caitlin: I felt like there was an episode, but it was not the first two. I feel like it was like four or five. That felt a little bit better to me, but I actually was more. I said the reverse. I was a little more excited at the beginning, and then it fizzled out for me, and that made it worse almost, too, because then I ended going, it was kind of a lot of time that I put into that.
Sharon: Yay. I’m never going to get that time back.
Caitlin: I could think of all the things I could have not done in that.
Sharon: Yeah.
Caitlin: all right, well, let’s start with Carolyn Brooks. She’s at least one of the more controversial, I guess, of the group.
Sharon: Yes.
Caitlin: Which isn’t saying a lot. Yeah. I feel like everything. And this is like, a little caveat of, like, well, it. For this. the only thing I have to say I feel like I want to appreciate about Dubai is I think we’ve had so many. We were talking about it earlier, like, there’s been so many legal disputes in all the other Housewives franchises, and this one’s a little bit more back to, like, rich people literally just complaining about rich people problems.
Sharon: Which I do enjoy.
Caitlin: Which I do enjoy. I just feel like it could have. It should have been more like, they’re very rich. They should have really petty problems. Yes.
Sharon: Yes.
Caitlin: And they weren’t quite as petty as I want. It’s like Chanel Ayan was the most over the top, and that was almost more being a model, not being someone from Dubai. And it’s interesting because so Many of them are expats. So it’s still kind of more American based than it is like Dubai based. And maybe that’s a little bit weird too. I don’t know. Okay, let’s go into the bio for Carolyn Brooks. I’m going to read you her Bravo bio because it was actually a lot of information I didn’t know and it made her more interesting. She is the daughter of two immigrant parents from Honduras. She is a proud first generation American and Afro Latina with an appetite for business. In 2010, Caroline and now ex husband relocated from Massachusetts to Dubai. While they were married, Caroline served as the marketing manager for his group of companies, which I thought was interesting. I don’t get marketing manager vibe from her, but giving her a taste of what it was like to run a major business in the Emirates. After they separated, the single mom was determined to find financial independence, becoming one of the first female real estate directors in the area. In recent years, Caroline’s made m the shift into the beauty sector with Glass House salon and Spa, a luxury salon that caters to women of all colors, hair textures and skin types. So that does make her seem a lot more interesting. Yeah, I. She drove me crazy this season. Okay, I hated her this season. I didn’t hate her the first season, but like, she just, she was nothing but angry and drunk the majority of the time. I just.
Sharon: Okay, here’s the funny thing. I didn’t remember her from the first season.
Caitlin: See, there you go.
Sharon: at all.
Caitlin: Yep.
Sharon: Now, granted, I didn’t finish the first season, but I totally was there at the beginning. I swore I’d never seen her before and I really liked her. Even though by the end I would sometimes try to justify. And I was like, okay, there’s really no justification. She’s just being.
Caitlin: You just liked her. Cause she pissed off all the other.
Sharon: People that bored you. I did. I really don’t actually have a reason to like her. I have a lot of reasons to dislike her. And then she did a lot of obnoxious things that really.
Caitlin: Yeah, I just felt like it wasn’t like tied to anything. Like it just. She did it for no reason. She did.
Sharon: She’s just kind of like a villain. She’s just a villain to be a villain. And I guess I kind of like that. Maybe because I think it’s because I’m not right reasons for this show. Yeah, because I didn’t like this show.
Caitlin: Yeah, you were like, burn it to the ground.
Sharon: Yeah, exactly. I was like, yeah, you go, Brooks.
Caitlin: You Throw those rocks at that glass.
Sharon: From that glass.
Caitlin: Yeah, exactly. From inside out. That’s even worse. All right, let’s Talk about Brooks vs. Talene. So Talene is the new member of the cast this season. I liked Taline. We’re still debating whether she gets her own episode or not. But I just want to say I liked her. I think it’s because she was the most Jersey American.
Sharon: I mostly liked her. Yeah, I think I would have liked her on another franchise.
Caitlin: Oh, I think that’s for sure.
Sharon: Yeah.
Caitlin: I just think, like, I’d gotten a little bit bored from season one, and so she was like, the fresh meat of the group. And so for that reason, I was like, oh, thank goodness there’s somebody else. Like, we’re trying someone else. Okay. So Brooks believed that she brought Taline on the show, and I think she thought she would be her ally. So I think that their whole verses comes from that fight. almost immediately, Talene sided with Stanbury, which. Okay. Is also a little confusing. And we’ll go into it more, I think, down the road. But they called each other, like, every day during the summer. And then when school started back up, that’s what it felt like. Felt like they were friends all summer. And then when school started back up, they, like, hated each other.
Sharon: You’re talking about Brooks and Till.
Caitlin: Brooks until.
Sharon: Yeah, because they left on a good note, and then they came back to the reunion. No. And then on the last screen, it’s like they’re not friends anymore.
Caitlin: Right.
Sharon: But they didn’t tell us why.
Caitlin: Exactly. And then it was also the same with. So now I’m feeling like it’s Brooks fault. It was also the same with she and Stanberry. Like, they talked m a bunch. They were friends. So I also was confused why, when Taline came and then sided with Stanbury, why did that make Brooks so mad? Because Brooks and Stanberry were friends. So it’s like, why couldn’t the three of you just be a little friend group and be fine? But instead, Brooks was so mad at her. And then also she came for Stanbury with the Talene info, which we’ll talk about. So we have to talk about the Beyonce vajayjay issue.
Sharon: Okay. Yes. And please, I don’t even remember. I’m like, talene fell over.
Caitlin: She fell over.
Sharon: I still don’t understand where the fault. Where the fight comes in here.
Caitlin: Yeah, well, yeah. Because it’s more embarrassing than anything.
Sharon: Yeah. This is. So, What is it? From Beverly Hills.
Caitlin: Yes.
Sharon: With Erica.
Caitlin: Oh, absolutely. When she flashed As a pk, I think.
Sharon: Exactly.
Caitlin: Yeah. So it’s like the same thing, except she flashed a whole Dubai stadium, which is probably a bigger deal in Dubai than it is in Beverly Hills. But it’s like she said it was a he said, she said, she said moment. Because what happened is Stanbury made a joke. Okay, here’s what I think. Stanbury has a really dry sense of humor.
Caitlin: I think she made a joke about Taline falling over and her husband seeing her vajayjay. And then all of a sudden, Brooks was like, I can’t believe you come for my friend that way. I think thinking that Taline would be like, yeah, let’s get her and we’re on the same side. And Taline instead was, well, let’s just try to like, fix this. Like, water under the bridge, it’s no big deal. But instead it like turned into this giant thing that made them fight the whole season.
Sharon: I didn’t know how this turned into a fight. That was one of those things where you’re watching it and then like, yeah. And the next episode you’re like, wait, why are we fighting again? I don’t even remember anymore. You don’t?
Caitlin: I think you said when we were, when we were working all this out too, like, that’s the misstep of Dubai. All of these things. You’re like, should I go back and like, try to understand?
Sharon: Yeah. And then you’re like, no, M. I.
Caitlin: Even went down Reddit on a few things and no one had an answer. Reddit always has an answer. They know who murdered everybody, but they can’t figure this out.
Sharon: Exactly.
Caitlin: So that tells you something. It’s like, either people don’t have the energy to put into it, or it just makes no sense. Yeah. Which maybe it just makes no sense.
Sharon: It’s because sometimes it’s like you have to go back to one line.
Caitlin: Exactly.
Sharon: And you’re like, first of all, it wasn’t even that interesting.
Caitlin: No.
Sharon: The first time. That’s probably why you didn’t even hear that line, you know?
Caitlin: I know. And the more I think about Taline, like, we were trying to create an outline for her, and she may end up not getting one because I couldn’t create an outline for her. There wasn’t enough. I mean, there was this issue and I felt like she handled herself really well. Like, I, liked the way she tried to play peacemaker, and she did it fairly well. Sometimes people are horrible at it. So, like, I think she could have a really good sophomore season.
Sharon: Right.
Caitlin: If they gave her one also. I think she’s really pretty and fun to watch. She wears like those over the top, you know, like outfits that have all of the brands written all over it. And you’re m. Like, okay, you’re one of those people who wants people to know that, you know, who designed your tank top. And I enjoy that in a housewife. I do too.
Sharon: So dirty.
Caitlin: Exactly. So do you think with Talene that it was a, defense of Talene that Brooks brought up the issue with Stanbury, or was she just creating drama for no reason?
Sharon: I have no idea.
Caitlin: I think it was drama for no.
Sharon: Reason, probably given Brooks. Yeah.
Caitlin: Because I don’t think she really cared because they made up. Like Talene and Stanbury were like, whatever, it’s okay. And then why did she kept getting upset about it?
Sharon: And I don’t even remember why Brooks and Talene stopped. Stopped being friends.
Caitlin: I mean, it was kind of that. And then also she called Talina beggar.
Sharon: Oh, that’s right. The beggar. That’s right. I think that was the bigger issue. So.
Caitlin: Yeah, and yeah, let’s go on to that because that was the big problem.
Sharon: Okay. I totally believed Brooks with the beggar thing.
Caitlin: she probably did want to be.
Sharon: On the show, which, I mean, let’s face it, a lot of women would. Yeah, I would totally. If you were on the Real House.
Caitlin: I’d be like, I mean, who’s not going to say that? That’s how they get people.
Sharon: Exactly.
Caitlin: And like she said, we, my husband and I, still to make a decision. And that’s true too. Like, the problem is it’s all true. Yeah, like nobody’s really wrong in this case.
Sharon: But you know, it’s the thing where they like to be like, well, I never even saw the show. They just approached, you know, that whole thing.
Caitlin: Who wants a housewife who doesn’t want to be in the house? We want a housewife who wants to be in the housewife who’s hungry for it. Like, absolutely. It’s whether, like I kind of wonder if Talene and Brooke sort of thought they could self produce. You know, like they always say people are trying to self produce themselves a little bit and that did not work. And they weren’t like cohesive enough. Like, they didn’t, they didn’t work together well enough to. To pull that off.
Sharon: They didn’t plan this.
Caitlin: They did not plan it well, no.
Sharon: But I think Talene probably was a beggar, but I think that’s fine. And I think she did a good job coming on. but I totally believe Brooks in that regard.
Caitlin: Yeah. And I think the big problem too is like, Brooks doesn’t handle any criticism well.
Caitlin: Because like when Taline at the. I kind of loved that dinner out in the desert where they made them walk really far out and then there was just like a table. I don’t know, for some reason, like that backdrop for all this stuff just made it better for me. But like, she kind of made her recant a little bit. Like, don’t you think you’re being maybe like over dramatic about the things Caroline said and how you interpreted them? And Brooks was like, yeah. But then she was pissed after that. And that’s. You could tell that’s when the beggar thing came out, all of that stuff. Because you can’t tell her she did something wrong.
Sharon: Nope.
Caitlin: Yeah.
Sharon: Yeah. And also, like, I really liked it at the end when they were. When they were at that, party where they were supposed to wear those dresses and where were they?
Caitlin: They were in Bali.
Sharon: Bali, whatever. Yeah. I loved it when they were laughing so hard and I hated that they.
Caitlin: Wouldn’T wear the dresses, but I love that it bonded together.
Sharon: Exactly. I love them bonding and laughing. Like I really enjoyed them together there.
Caitlin: We missed.
Sharon: And then it made me sad when like at the end they. I was like, oh. Cause I had so much fun. That was my favorite scene where she goes, I would never wear mustard yellow.
Caitlin: What I feel like they didn’t understand is that you can’t just fight with everybody. And so it’s like, maybe if they have a third season. I wonder if they will. I don’t know.
Sharon: I don’t.
Caitlin: If they get one. I think they have to sort of stick to some level of camps. Some people can switch, but you kind of have to keep your. Some teams together. The problem is there was no teams. Everybody broke up, everybody switched sides.
Sharon: And I didn’t know who was friends and who was supposed to be friends and who was. Yes, that was.
Caitlin: I mean, even the ones that were supposed to stay friends forever were falling apart, which is fine if other people are staying together, but it was just like flipping, flopping sides and you can’t do that. It’s.
Caitlin: Too confusing. Why do we think that Brooks was so unprepared for Taline not toeing the line? Like, she seemed really surprised that Taline didn’t take her side.
Sharon: Well, I kind of would be surprised too. Okay. If I had been friends with someone for 10 years and it sounds like they were close friends, not just they knew each other. They were close friends for 10 years, and then I come. I bring them on, essentially, and then they kind of, like, aren’t on my side. I would be surprised.
Caitlin: Yeah.
Sharon: I would have expected her to ride or die with me as Heather.
Caitlin: I was surprised she didn’t. And I still kind of just take it back to that first fight. I think she thought that making up with Caroline Stanbury because Brooks and Stanbury were friends was, like, a good thing to do. Like, I think she thought, like, okay, I’m still in your team. Like, I made up with your friend.
Sharon: Yeah.
Caitlin: And now we’re all okay. And instead, Brooks was like, okay, I’m throwing down the gauntlet. Like, that’s a challenge. Like, I just think there was some sort of misunderstanding there. Like, I don’t. I still don’t see why that was a problem. I don’t know. do you think that Brooks drank too much this season or was high in Bali? I think she was high.
Sharon: Oh, really?
Caitlin: I don’t know.
Sharon: See, I didn’t think so, but apparently, yes, because they even said, the producers.
Caitlin: She seemed drunk the whole season.
Sharon: How come I didn’t?
Caitlin: I don’t know. Maybe you just thought that was her first.
Sharon: I did because I didn’t know her. Otherwise, I’m like, oh, that’s true.
Caitlin: That’s just how she is. I did not, like, when she showed up or, she didn’t show up for the Bali trip. Like, I thought that was really narcissistic to not text anybody.
Sharon: Yeah.
Caitlin: Although I liked when Stanberg was like, oh, she’ll be fine. She. She would never. Like, she. She can hold her own. She’s not dead.
Sharon: Do you think she took a private jet?
Caitlin: Yes, I do.
Sharon: You do?
Caitlin: Okay. Yeah.
Sharon: I really want to know, because who was. It was like, there’s no way. She’s usually.
Caitlin: Bravo. Kind of shows that because they think it’s funnier that the person’s like, oh, I couldn’t make it. Oh, I’ll just go by myself. But I think she kind of pulled it off without the cameras following her.
Sharon: Yeah. Ah.
Caitlin: I think that’s the only reason.
Sharon: Hm.
Caitlin: Okay, here’s my other weird question, because I was thinking about this. Do you think Brooks once dated Taleen’s husband Rafi? Because she says, like, I’m, closer with Raffi than Taline at one point.
Sharon: I thought that was weird.
Caitlin: And then that fight at dinner was just. It’s like she was way more hurt that Raffi was mad at her than that Taline was. And Then there was the screaming outside. And I felt like, what might get to that, except for maybe like she thought he owed her some sort of.
Sharon: Except the timing wouldn’t work.
Caitlin: No, but I mean, like maybe a million years ago.
Sharon: Oh, like in the U.S. yeah, that’d be weird.
Caitlin: That would be weird. But maybe.
Sharon: Or maybe they work together in some.
Caitlin: M. But like, why, if they met at the same time, would she be closer to Rafi? Yeah, maybe they worked in real estate or something when she did whatever else she did.
Sharon: That’s the only thing I can think of is maybe they were okay.
Caitlin: Maybe they were co workers. Still seems strange because she and Taline just seemed closer. So maybe she just said that to me.
Sharon: M. I was surprised when she said like, oh, I’m closer to him or whatever.
Caitlin: And I was like, well, okay, why? I don’t understand.
Caitlin: Also, you pointed out they showed them smoking when they had that fight outside.
Sharon: Yeah, that was weird.
Caitlin: That was weird. We don’t see that much.
Sharon: No, it’s.
Caitlin: Yeah, it’s the international version. You can just. International house.
Sharon: Well, which is kind of funny because then it’s also like the strictest version. I don’t know.
Caitlin: Yeah, maybe that’s why they did it. Juxtaposition.
Sharon: Yeah.
Caitlin: Okay. Who WINS In Taleen vs Brooks? That’s kind of hard. Okay, well, Talene did bring dress receipts to the reunion.
Sharon: She did.
Caitlin: I love giant photocopies.
Sharon: That was funny.
Caitlin: Bravo for that.
Sharon: I don’t know, because Brooks really. I don’t think Brooks is too affected. I think Talene wins overall to Lean.
Caitlin: I think so. I also feel like if they had to pick, I bet Talene would come back. Maybe Brooks wouldn’t really. I don’t know. It depends if other people won’t film with her.
Sharon: Yeah, that’s true. I mean, I think Tolene would definitely come back. I don’t know why they wouldn’t. She’s thirsty.
Caitlin: Okay, let’s talk about Brooks versus Stanberry. So we already kind of talked about that. I don’t totally understand it. but let’s talk a little bit about.
Sharon: Okay.
Caitlin: I think that the. Again, the issue. It feels like every issue is a friend group trying to knock somebody else out. So like, the issue with Talene and Brooks was the issue with Stanberry wanting to get knocked out. And then I feel like with Brooks and Stanberry because they were allegedly so close off camera, but then we didn’t really see that and they just told us they were really close.
Sharon: I had no idea that they were close friends. I Was like, what?
Caitlin: Well, apparently the off, moments. They were. It sort of felt like the issue is maybe about Sarah because then when they go on that boat ride in M. Bali, Caroline says to Brooks, I don’t like your spiritual journey. It’s interfering with our relationship. So do you think that again, it feels like the only way these friends, only two people can be a friend at a time. And it’s very confusing because it’s like those logic, puzzles. Like, she can’t sit by her because she’s holding this animal or whatever. So do you think the fact that Sarah got to Brooks made Caroline so mad that then Caroline and Brooks couldn’t be friends?
Sharon: Because it’s weird because Sarah and Brooks didn’t even really seem like friends to me. Yeah, no one seemed like friends.
Caitlin: I think that’s the real problem.
Sharon: Are, these people actually friends?
Caitlin: No. I’m gonna go with no.
Sharon: Like today. Today, is anyone actually friends?
Caitlin: I don’t think so. Nobody even seemed to want to sit by anybody on the couch. I think the only real friends initially were Lisa and Ayan.
Caitlin: And I think they’re falling apart now. So.
Sharon: Yeah, they’ll never be friends again.
Caitlin: Yeah. Because Brooks calls Sam Bray the C word, which again, I think was a drunken thing.
Sharon: My husband didn’t know what that meant, by the way.
Caitlin: That’s right. Now he knows. See Housewives teaches so much. He was like, what husband didn’t know about the cu. Next Tuesday. do you think this is what I think? I think again, I feel like this whole season is just one friend hurting another friend by trying to be friends with another friend that they aren’t really friends. And that’s why it’s confusing. It’s like one of those string maps.
Sharon: It’s very middle school.
Caitlin: Do you think that she, meaning Stanbury, mended fences with Lisa and Ayaan just to kind of be angry at Brooks and Sarah? Because I kind of think so now. The more I think about it, I think she just.
Sharon: I think Stanberry just wanted a place to land and is like, hey, me and Ayan. I don’t.
Caitlin: I guess so.
Sharon: Cool.
Caitlin: Because she lost.
Sharon: I don’t feel like she’s super. What’s the word? Like, super, loyal. Yeah, exactly. Like, she’s not, like, really bought in on one. She’s like, yeah, I’ll come over to this.
Caitlin: I think you’re right. You’re like, well, I guess I’ll film with this person in the season. And then.
Sharon: This is funny. Yeah.
Caitlin: Well, she probably doesn’t want to get too close to anybody because her. Her husband’s so clingy.
Sharon: Yeah.
Caitlin: She’s like, if I get someone else that clingy, oh, my God. I also thought, okay, so Brooks will, like, cut anybody out of her life just as quickly as possible. And that made me think, you know, I said on the yearbook Patreon episode. Join our Patreon and listen to the yearbook episode. But I said on that episode that I thought to lean would be good in Jersey. Now I’m thinking Brooks would be good in Jersey because Jersey is all about cutting people out of your life.
Sharon: It is.
Caitlin: And Brooks is amazing at that. You slight her, and she’s like, you’re gone. You’re dead to me.
Sharon: I think Brooks and Talene could both just go into Jersey.
Caitlin: They would revamp Jersey. They would, like, just get rid of all those.
Sharon: Or they should at least do a girls trip with, like, to Jersey.
Caitlin: Oh, my God. That’d be so funny. It’s like, to the Jersey shore. Dubai. To the shore. My God, I would love that. That’s amazing. Okay, who wins in, Brooks versus Stanbury? We’ll talk a little bit more about that.
Sharon: I don’t think either of them really loses against each other.
Caitlin: You’re right. You’re right. I don’t think they had a horse in this race. I don’t think either.
Sharon: I don’t think exactly.
Caitlin: I feel, like, weird that they talked and maybe they missed that.
Sharon: Yeah.
Caitlin: They didn’t seem super sad.
Sharon: I mean, I think most people like Stanley more, but it’s dry as far as. Yeah, I don’t really think one.
Caitlin: I agree. Okay, let’s talk a little bit about Brooks versus Lisa so we can talk about the glass. Gosh. I just want to talk about the glass house.
Sharon: Okay. This is where I just really wanted. Even though, Brooks, this whole thing about, like, the can’t use salon service. Okay. This is the thing.
Caitlin: Okay.
Sharon: Sorry.
Caitlin: Are you not loyal to your salon?
Sharon: This is where I was confused. She wasn’t mad. Brooks wasn’t mad that Lisa had the party at a different salon.
Caitlin: She kind of was.
Sharon: She kind of was.
Caitlin: Yeah.
Sharon: But she was then saying she couldn’t use, like, because they were getting services, like, because people from that salon were gonna do something to Brooks’s body.
Caitlin: It’s a conflict of interest that she.
Sharon: Can’T have anyone else, like, give you a free massage on, that day.
Caitlin: No.
Sharon: And that. And that was like, oh, my God, Brooks, I wanna just come up with a reason why I can agree with you, but I can’t. It’s so stupid.
Caitlin: No, I think it would have been better to be like, why didn’t you use my salon? And I’m mad about that. Yeah, I would have liked the free press just as much.
Sharon: I didn’t get. And also, I don’t want to defend.
Caitlin: Lisa, but she’s not friends enough with Lisa. Lisa shouldn’t. I mean.
Sharon: And why wouldn’t Lisa put her stuff all over? Why wouldn’t she?
Caitlin: She’s on tv. She wants to sell it.
Sharon: Yeah. Why, wouldn’t she have her logo everywhere?
Caitlin: Like, that’s what I also felt like. It’s like, okay, say you owned a restaurant. Are you not allowed to eat at any other restaurants? Like, I can’t have any food from your restaurant because I own a restaurant.
Sharon: Lisa can only wear maternity clothes.
Caitlin: That would be amazing. Sorry, what is that? Is that.
Sharon: Oh, you can’t pick that up.
Caitlin: Only Mina Ro.
Caitlin: I wonder how she came up with that name.
Sharon: I don’t know, but I want her to fail. Isn’t that mean?
Caitlin: It was such a thing for a while for people just to pick random names.
Sharon: Like, I just want her to fail.
Caitlin: Yeah, well, M. The problem is, I think she just can’t grow too big. Like, if you’re in maternity, I think you have to be in maternity grow too. Oh, that’s funny. I think you can’t say, I just want to also be clothes for regular women. Like, you’re not.
Sharon: No, especially if you start maternity. I feel like you could start regular clothes, have an offshoot maternity.
Caitlin: I think it made more sense to go into, like, maternity skincare or whatever she said. Yeah, but it is problematic. We talked about it in Mormon Wives. Yes, you do lose those exact people. Like, I’m not still purchasing maternity brands, so. Although, maybe their pants would be more comfortable. Wait, on second thought. Well, let me look up Mina Rose.
Sharon: So she can come out with a prenatal vitamin.
Caitlin: I hope so, because you know she will. Yeah, I mean, she has.
Sharon: There’s not enough out there.
Caitlin: There’s not. God, she’s going to the Bravo. Oh, it’s not. They’re not Bravo, though, so it’ll be okay. Yeah, because it might be the only Bravo prenatal vitamin, and the other will be like a Hulu prenatal vitamin. Yeah, that was just the weirdest argument. And then the fact that everyone was complaining that she put her logo there. Well, you couldn’t even see what the spa was. Well, aren’t you glad you don’t want the spa to get pressed. So weren’t you Happy Mina Rose covering its name? Yeah.
Caitlin: The spa should be upset.
Sharon: Exactly. The spa should be upset.
Caitlin: Like, I let you and they don’t care. She paid them for it.
Caitlin: Oh, also, I googled Glass House is very near the Coca Cola Arena. I don’t know what that is. I’m assuming it’s a sporting thing, but I want to go there.
Sharon: I want to go to the diet.
Caitlin: It’s probably next door. Okay, who WINS In Brooks vs. Lisa?
Sharon: Oh, whatever. You didn’t say about the dresses.
Caitlin: She should have gone, but I still.
Sharon: Got the biggest kick out of the fact that they didn’t.
Caitlin: Okay, she’s not going to wear mustard.
Sharon: Brooks, wins because even though I think Brooks was wrong, I think she somehow, like, overshadowed Lisa.
Caitlin: Oh, she did. She kind of put a dark cloud over her. Yeah. Even though Glass House.
Sharon: Even though, like, Brooks arguments made no sense. She just, like, made Lisa somehow look bad. I don’t know.
Caitlin: There’s probably, like, actual, like, spa rivalries on the street. You know, people go by and they’re like, ooh, what spot you go to? You have to wear the colors of your spa. It’s a whole Dubai thing.
Sharon: It’s like in Salt Lake too.
Caitlin: Yeah, it is. It’s like a little Salt Lake City in Dubai.
Sharon: It is.
Caitlin: It’s crazy how many Salt Lakes.
Sharon: I wonder if there’s a Mormon temple.
Caitlin: There probably is. And if so, I’m guessing Sarah’s been there because she loves all the relationships.
Sharon: Yes, exactly.
Caitlin: All right, well, that is. We made it to our first Dubai episode.
Sharon: Oh, yay. With the only person I actually like. So that’s not true. I like so much.
Caitlin: We’ll see how those other episodes.
Sharon: It’s all downhill from here, but it.
Caitlin: Actually might be uphill because, you know, Sharon might really, really hate it. And then it might be really interesting.
Sharon: I might get angrier.
Caitlin: You might get Brooks about it. All right, well, that is our episode on Carolyn Brooks and Real Housewives of Dubai. Remember, housewives bring the drama, but we bring the receipts.
